toned in this article.
WATERLOO FALLS.
Six miles up the Santiam river from
Lebanon, are the Waterloo falls, one of
the best natural water-powers in the
State. Here is very desirable loca-
ton for any kind of manufacturing es-
Establishments, especially lumber, as
large bodies of timber lie adjacent easy
of access. There is now on foot, under
the direction of Mr.. John Writ, very
PLAUSIBLE scheme to organize manu-
facuring colony for this place, and we
believe it is only question of time
when this great power will be utilized
to the benefit of the entire county. At
Waterloo is also to be found one of the
finest soda springs that ever gushed
out of the solid rock. 1t attracts many
tourists and invalids annually.
soDAvILLE,
so called on account of the soda springs
at that place, is situated on bluff
overlooking the valley. From this
eminence most delightful view of the
country surrounding Lebanon, Albany
and other places is To be obtained. The
springs are public property, and dur
/ ing the summer season the little town
is enlivened by many tourists and 9TH
ers, some of which camp during the
heated term. The drive from Leba-
non, four miles, is very pleasant one,
which also makes the place attractive.
4 first-class hotel under the manage
ment of Mr.. Klum, furnishes ample
accommodations for all who 60 there.

the Santiam river is the beautiful little
valley above named. Among the nu-

the valley is the village of Sweet Home
consisting of three stores, two hotels,
one blacksmith shop and tannery.
